Chapter 327 Reflection in Water

The moment Yuan Zhuoyue opened his eyes, what he saw was a dark, desolate, dead silent land without a trace of life.

There was a dark color in the sky, and it seemed impossible to make out the color that permeated the sky.

Was it the floating gloomy clouds, or was it just so dark and strange, as if there was a dark cage hiding some man-eating beast?

Yuan Zhuoyue looked around in confusion. The ground beneath her feet was dry and cracked, with bare soil exposed beyond the dry grass.

But it was tinged with a strange bloody color, and it looked like a barren land with no human habitation.

And right on this piece of land, there are rows of dead trees that have long been dry and rotten, and those dry branches are twisted and distorted.

It was like a pair of shriveled arms reaching out to the sky in despair, as if trying to make a desperate effort to break free from the mud and grasp that illusory and fleeting glimmer of hope.

Yuan Zhuoyue looked at the scenes in front of him and felt that some inexplicable emotions were accumulating in his heart like a blockage.

A cold and eerie atmosphere enveloped her body, as if a cold-blooded long snake was tightly wrapped around her.

The cold scales slowly slid across her skin.

Yuan Zhuoyue shuddered almost involuntarily.

She didn't remember what happened before, she only knew that she appeared here as soon as she opened her eyes. She didn't know where this place was, nor did she know why she appeared in such a strange place.

The expression on her face was empty and confused, and her thoughts were sluggish, as if shrouded in a layer of fog that could not be peeled off.

That feeling made Yuan Zhuoyue extremely uncomfortable, as if she could reveal the moon by just raising her hand.

However, an impenetrable membrane appeared, clinging tightly to her body, making it impossible for her to break free.

Yuan Zhuoyue frowned and pondered for a long time, then shook his still confused head. When he found that he still couldn't think of anything, he gave up thinking without hesitation.

The scenes before our eyes are so dark and eerie that anyone who sees them would inevitably think of ghosts, goblins, and monsters.

But Yuan Zhuoyue didn't feel terrified when he saw all this. Instead, he felt extremely sad.

It was as if a hole appeared at the place of her heart, and the cold wind that enveloped her body passed through the hole as it blew past her.

The chilly wind, like a cold blade, cut through her flesh inch by inch like a slow slicing of flesh.

Yuan Zhuoyue felt a little uncomfortable and raised his hand to cover his chest, but it seemed that he still couldn't relieve the feeling.

Suddenly she heard a slightly mocking voice coming from the distance, carried by the wind.

She looked up and saw that among the twisted shadows of the trees, there seemed to be human figures gathering. Those twisted black shadows seemed to be eagerly looking for something.

When Yuan Zhuoyue saw this scene, he originally planned to move forward to find out the news after hearing the voices, but his idea immediately disappeared.

Not only did she stop in her tracks, she even took a step back, somewhat resisting the twisted figures she saw moving between the shadows of the trees.

But as if affected by some unspeakable influence, Yuan Zhuoyue's thoughts are still not clear and his mind is in a mess.

It seemed that thinking was an extremely difficult thing for her.

But she still remembered one thing in her mind, she didn't like it here, she didn't belong here, and she wanted to escape from here.

Looking at the distorted figures gradually approaching her, whose outlines she could only barely see, Yuan Zhuoyue retreated again and again.

Then the scene around him suddenly changed, and Yuan Zhuoyue's retreating foot stepped directly into a quagmire.

Even though she reacted quickly and pulled her feet out, she could still feel the wet, cold and sticky feeling clinging tightly to her feet.

Yuan Zhuoyue subconsciously lowered his head and saw that below his ankles he was covered in dark mud.

At her feet was a large puddle of mud made up of rotten fallen leaves, dead branches and weeds.

Perhaps because it rained here and the water vapor is relatively humid, the surface of the mud puddle is covered with layers of yellowish sewage.

Yuan Zhuoyue only felt a sudden shock, and his hair stood on end, as if he had woken up from a dream, with only one thought in his mind.

——She shouldn't be here.

Almost instantly, she had the urge to escape from here.

But her body, as if against her will, pinned her firmly in place.

Until those twisted figures approached her, stepping on the corrupt mud and approaching her, stepping on the quagmire.

The strange and eerie sound, like the sound of something slowly crawling, floated into Yuan Zhuoyue's ears.

Yuan Zhuoyue only felt that the invisible restraints surrounding her suddenly disappeared completely.

And the strange and distorted figures approaching her made equally distorted sounds, like screaming and laughing, or crying.

Seemingly filled with urgency, excitement, and surprise, those twisted figures passed through the forest of dead trees, finally gathered together, and then slowly approached her.

When Yuan Zhuoyue saw this scene, he turned around and ran without hesitation, even if his feet stepped into the mud and became stained with filth.

Until the mud turned into a body of water under her feet. The clear and freezing shallow water just covered her ankles and washed away the stains on her feet.

Yuan Zhuoyue did not stop her running pace, as if as long as she kept running like this, she could escape from this strange place.

Then everything in front of her eyes changed from the barren and dry land at the beginning to the endless waters now.

The icy water had already climbed up to her waist and abdomen from the position where it just covered her ankles at the beginning.

Looking at the endless, dark and calm water surface with only ripples left where she walked, Yuan Zhuoyue finally stopped.

Then she looked around, but found that she had long lost her way and didn't know where to go.

As Yuan Zhuoyue stopped walking, the ripples gradually subsided, and then became like a dark mirror.

And Yuan Zhuoyue saw the reflection clearly.

It was a woman in plain clothes, with long, ink-black hair flowing down and submerged in the water.

Her face was pretty, but it revealed a kind of numb calmness, and her black eyes were like a deep abyss. These combined with her bloodless pale skin.

The reflection in the water looks like a dead body floating in the water with its eyes open.
